    Why big tech offshore Salesforce development

    The appeal behind hiring offshore Salesforce developers lies in 2 main drivers that propel tech companies forward: huge talent pools and slashed costs.ย ย 

    Finding the right people onshore can be a bit of a hunt. Reports show that about 70% of American employers struggle to fill roles. As of March 2024, there were 438,000 active tech job postings, making hiring top talent at home tough. Thus, technology giants tap into million-sized pools with coders of diverse tech stacks โ€” for instance, Latin America alone hosts 2 million software engineers, while Eastern Europe shined with 1.5 million developers.ย ย 

    Offshoring also helps tech companies scale while reducing costs due to a stark contrast between software engineersโ€™ salaries from the US and other countries. For instance, hiring offshore Salesforce developers in LATAM or Eastern Europe can save you from 30% to 70%.ย ย

    What is an offshore Salesforce development center?

    An offshore Salesforce development center is your dedicated remote office with a team of software engineers. Imagine it as an extended piece of your in-house puzzle: a reliable provider helps you with office space, procures tech equipment, and provides benefits for your team.ย ย 

    Alcorโ€™s unique solution enables you to set up a software development center in Latin America and Eastern Europe with a team of Silicon Valley-caliber software engineers. The best part? You donโ€™t need to worry about establishing a legal entity in these regions โ€” Alcor takes care of everything for you. From full-cycle tech recruitment to comprehensive EoR support and other back-office services, all offered with flexible a la carte pricing, we make it seamless and straightforward. Plus, there are no buy-out fees or markups โ€” the dedicated team is yours from day one, and you can save 20%-40% compared to traditional IT outsourcing or outstaffing. Isnโ€™t that revolutionary?ย ย 

    Comparison with alternatives

    Some of the alternatives out there are traditional IT outsourcing and staff augmentation. IT outsourcing can work for non-tech companies without development teams, keeping client involvement at armโ€™s length. On the other hand, team augmentation typically requires a pre-existing in-house engineering team to augment it. Furthermore, neither solution offers significant benefits in terms of client control. Both options fall short in terms of influence: staff augmentation allows for some involvement, while IT outsourcing is almost entirely hands-off.

    However, establishing your own software R&D center completely changes the game. You get to hire and retain top talent without paying buy-out fees, while the operational responsibilities are handled by your partner. This means you can scale quickly in your desired location. Best of all, you maintain full control over the development process, making it the smartest, most secure option for long-term product success.ย

    Offshore Software Development vs Own R&D Center

    Offshoring software development

    1. Cloudy pricing With outsourcers, the markup for your vendorโ€™s service might exceed a Salesforce developerโ€™s salary by 50%.
    2. Temporary fix Offshore development teams are loyal as long as the contract lasts and wonโ€™t go the extra mile to ensure your productโ€™s long-term success.
    3. Your provider comes first An external Salesforce development team will report only to your vendor, treating you as the โ€œsecondaryโ€ employer.
    4. IP rights transfer complexities When you engage a offshore development service company, the IP rights of your product initially belong to the outsourcing team. So think ahead about the safe transferring of them to you later.
    5. Barrier to investment attraction Engaging with a offshore development partner means that you delegate your core competencies to developers who will leave your team for good. Not exactly the investorโ€™s dream.

    Software Development Center

    1. Maximized cost savings Your own software R&D team costs 40% less than an outsourced team. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
    2. Long-term commitment Product development and a sense of ownership attract professional developers as bees to honey. Hence, more loyalty.
    3. Direct control over development You get your team of offshore Salesforce developers for ideation, innovation, and growthโ€”without intermediaries.
    4. Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique engineering expertise in-house.
    5. Easy investment attraction Establishing your own R&D center with a dedicated team will enhance your appeal to investors.
